Global Warming

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

This contains a writing prompt about global warming that could be adapted in several ways. The resource provides information on global warming and its possible effects. Learners explore the enhanced greenhouse effect and the effects of global warming by writing an essay about how life will be different if global warming continues. There are limited directions, so you could ask your class to do a research project, come up with a hypothesis, and more.
